:20:03
A little gold one time.
:20:04
- Weapons?
- Yeah, yeah, a few weapons.
:20:07
But I'll tell you this, I never once
rode out of that camp of his...
:20:10
...without having the feeling that I'd
left something important behind me.
:20:15
Like my scalp, for instance.
:20:16
Would money influence your decision?
:20:21
Yeah. Yeah, might.
:20:24
I'd be exceeding my authority...
:20:27
...but I'm prepared
to enrol you as a chief scout.
:20:30
The pay is that of a first lieutenant.
:20:34
- Eighty dollars a month?
- And found.
:20:41
Well, now, major...
:20:43
Now, I'll tell you what I'll do...
:20:45
...just to show you
my heart's in the right place.
:20:48
Now, there's 100,
2, 3... There's $400.
:20:51
Good Yankee currency. That'll buy you
five chief scouts for a month.
:20:55
Now, you tell them just exactly
what you told me:
:20:58
That all they have to do is to ride
into Quanah Parker's camp...
:21:02
...and tell him they want all
the white prisoners...
:21:04
...his Comanches have captured
in the last 15, 20 years.
:21:07
You get any takers, you can pay it
out of that 400.
:21:10
No, go on, take it.
:21:12
I'll be riding out here in a month or so.
I'll pick up what's left.
:21:16
Mr. Gary, perhaps Marshal McCabe
can share your quarters...
:21:20
...until he's rested sufficiently to return
to his more lucrative duties in Tascosa.
:21:24
- Fine.
- Yes, sir.
:21:26
I know Madam Aragon
will be glad to see him back.
:21:29
- Won't she, Guth?
- Hell, now, Jim...
:21:32
- Just what is your price, McCabe?
- Lf you'd call him Guth, he'll shave...
:21:36
I don't know what this private joke's
about, but it's gone far enough.
:21:41
Just how much do you think
human lives are worth, McCabe?
:21:45
Whatever the market will bear.
No more, no less.
:21:48
I've told you what I could pay.
That's all I can do.
:21:51
Well, I believe you, major.
:21:54
I believe you.
:21:55
- So I'll take it.
- Sit down.
:21:58
- Well, I'd prefer, sir...
- Sit down!
